What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"First time we (mom and daughter) have done a tour and first time with on the go tours. What a special trip we had doing the 13 day Casablanca to Essaouira Morocco tour (26 Nov - 6 Dec 2023). We started the first 8 days doing the totally Morocco tour and the last few days at our own pace with down time in Essaouira. Jamal our guide led the tour from start to finish and took us safely on a culture filled journey. His knowledge of the country, it’s history and people was informative and inspiring. Every request was “no problem” and delivered with a smile and happy demeanour. Everything in Morrocco was “no problem” and we felt safe and looked after. We were driven in a comfortable coach with enough stops along the way to not feel long by our competent driver Suleman. The hotels, Riad and Dar were extremely comfortable with exceptional service. We would not have had the same experience travelling on our own, we felt as though we truly experienced Morocco. Everything was a highlight for us and we will definitely book another on the go tour in the future. If you wanting to see true Morocco we would strongly recommend doing this tour."

Is Azerbaijan Safe?

  • Safety alert level 3: As of October 2020, Azerbaijain is considered a safety risk for travelers due to Covid-19 and violence

Azerbaijan has traditionally been a fairly stable and safe country for travelers despite its location. In the late summer of 2020 however, violence erupted between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Nagorno-Karabakh is technically recognized as part of Azerbaijan however it is ethnically Armenian. The conflict has been exacerbated due to the alliances from the neighboring countries, namely Turkey which has thrown support behind Azerbaijan.

Travelers should be aware of this unrest before considering visiting Azerbaijan. The safety warning level for Azerbaijan is currently at 3 “Reconsider Travel”. Terrorism is a concern, not just in the disputed region. American travelers take note that in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, the US has limited resources to assist tourists. 

If you decide to travel to Azerbaijan, we highly recommend a vacation package or guided tour. This will ensure you have a support network and local assistance with the language and safe places to go.

What is the currency in Azerbaijan?

  • The currency in Azerbaijani is the manat (AZN)

US dollars and Euros can be exchanged easily and most major cities have ATMs. Restaurants, hotels, and shops in the major cities usually accept credit cards as well.

Best time to visit Azerbaijan

  • Spring, between April-June
  • Fall, between September-October

Azerbaijan experiences extremely cold winters and very hot summers, so the best time to go is during the shoulder seasons between April-June and September-October.

If you don’t mind a little bit of nippy cold weather, visit Azerbaijan in March for “Novruz Bayrami” the Persian New Year celebrations. The spring wildflowers are also reputed to be spectacular!
